Default Re: Fuel Injectors

Thanks for the feedback. I have just taken delivery of the South Bay fuel injectors and have carried out a quick check using the Kent Moore J39021 Injector Tester. The stock OEM injectors for the 1990 LT5 shows a 'coil test amp supply' of 0.5A, with a 'voltage window' of 5.7 to 6.6. With the Injector Tester set at 0.5A, my stock injectors averaged out at 5.87 to 6.15, all within the 'voltage window' of 5.7 to 6.6. The resistances at 60 degrees F measured at between 12.1 and 12.4 ohms.
Applying the same test criteria to the South Bay injectors, the 'voltage window' came out at between 7.1 and 7.2 volts with the resistance at between 14.8 and 14.9 ohms for all 16 injectors.
I emailed South Bay with my findings asking for comments. They came straight back to me saying that these were OK and the injectors will work as they should. This prompted me to ask the forum for any comments from people who have used these injectors. The only slight concern that I have, which may be unfounded, is the potential for damage to other components as the injectors do not exactly match OE specs. Initial checks showed that they are all within a tight window on resistances, albeit at 60 degrees F.
